The Senate sent the biggest housing bill in a generation back to the House for reconciliation. A bipartisan tax bill denied Russia a financial loophole. And the Farm Bill cleared committee with crossover votes that will matter in November. Here’s exactly how your representatives voted.
Federal Votes
1. 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act
H.R. 6644 · Warren (D-MA) & Scott (R-SC)
The Senate gave final approval to the most sweeping housing legislation in decades. The bill restricts institutional investors from buying single-family homes, expands affordable housing financing, and includes a provision prohibiting the Federal Reserve from issuing a central bank digital currency. The House had already passed it 390-9 on February 9.
Senate Vote: 89–10 — PASSED
Final passage March 12, 2026. Because the Senate passed an amended version, the bill now returns to the House for reconciliation.
Nay votes (10): Cruz (R-TX), Lee (R-UT), Paul (R-KY), R. Scott (R-FL), Johnson (R-WI), Budd (R-NC), Tillis (R-NC), Tuberville (R-AL), Young (R-IN), Schatz (D-HI). Sen. Schatz was the only Democrat to vote against the bill, citing concerns about the CBDC prohibition rider.
What this means for you: The bill still needs to be reconciled with the House version before it can go to the President. But the 89-10 margin signals strong momentum. If signed, this law would restrict Wall Street firms from bulk-buying houses in your neighborhood and direct billions toward affordable housing construction.
2. HONOR Act — Denying Russia a Tax Break
S. 327 · Bipartisan
The Senate passed a bill denying U.S. companies the ability to claim foreign tax credits on taxes paid to Russia. Currently, American companies doing business in Russia can offset their U.S. tax bill by the amount they pay Moscow — effectively subsidizing the Russian government through our tax code.
Senate Vote: Unanimous consent — PASSED
Passed March 10, 2026. No objections from any senator.
What this means for you: No individual senator voted "no," which means your senator didn't block it. This is the kind of procedural vote that rarely makes the news but directly affects how your tax dollars interact with foreign governments.
3. Farm Bill Clears Committee
H.R. 7567 · House Agriculture Committee
The $1.3 trillion Farm Bill — which sets food policy, nutrition programs (including SNAP), crop insurance, and rural broadband funding for the next five years — cleared the House Agriculture Committee. Leadership is pushing for a full House floor vote before the Easter recess.
Committee Vote: 34–17 — ADVANCING
Passed committee March 5, 2026. Floor vote expected before Easter recess (April 2).
Democrats who voted Yea (7): Costa (CA), Davids (KS), Davis (NC), Vasquez (NM), Gray (OH), McDonald Rivet (LA), Riley (NY). These crossover votes gave the bill bipartisan momentum and may signal easier passage on the floor.
What this means for you: The Farm Bill determines SNAP benefits, school lunch programs, crop insurance, and rural internet access. If your representative is on the Agriculture Committee, their vote is already on the record. If not, the floor vote is coming — and you'll see it here.
4. Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2026
H.R. 7148 · Signed into law Feb. 3
The omnibus spending bill that funds most of the federal government passed the House in late January and was signed into law on February 3. We're including it here because it's the baseline against which all other spending fights this spring will be measured.
House Vote: 341–88 — SIGNED INTO LAW
5. DHS Appropriations Act, 2026
H.R. 7147
Homeland Security funding — covering TSA, FEMA, the Coast Guard, Secret Service, and border operations — was split from the main spending bill and passed separately on a near-party-line vote.
House Vote: 220–207 — PASSED
What this means for you: If your representative voted on the close side of a 220-207 split, their position on border funding is now part of their permanent record.On the Radar

House-Senate Reconciliation Next
H.R. 6644 passed both chambers with massive bipartisan margins (House 390-9, Senate 89-10) — but the Senate passed an amended version. The House must now vote on the Senate's changes or negotiate a conference. The White House has signaled support. We'll track the reconciliation process and final vote.
